THE ANTIDOTE TO EXHAUSTION

Exhaustion. Emptiness. A feeling like a swamp draining. We push against its seductive entrapment and do our best to stay present and show up in the world with some version of ourselves that is acceptable. It is an act of courage often to walk out into the sunlight of other people’s expectations, or what we think they are expecting of us. But so often, the real beauty of who we are is lurking in those shadowy areas that we don’t want to or are afraid to show the world. And then the exhaustion comes from the constant work it takes to keep pushing our acceptable stories.

​A true spiritual path is one that leads us to lift the curtain that separates who we think we need to be and who we actually are. When that begins to happen, there is an emerging connection with Creation. Then the true act of courage is to fill that entire reality with an embrace and to receive our own Spirit self.
